Software Box Generators

If you have ever bought or sold any product or service online, you would have noticed that vendors generally package their products attractively. If you are a seller yourself, you would probably even be wondering how that particular seller made these boxes!

Ugly software box can force your potential customer to go away!

The first thing that your potential customers encounter when they meet your product is the boxshot of your product. For many, this is the moment they decide to take a closer look at your product or search for another. Take full advantage of this first impression by presenting a professional software eCover! Hiring a professional designer to create your 3D boxshot costs hundreds of dollars and may require updates. 

We have experience with three easy solutions which take the pain out of making these boxes and also give a fine professional touch to them (level 2), while being affordable at the same time! We came across three software solutions that did exactly what we had in mind.

They are Quick 3D Cover, True BoxShot, and BoxShot 3D. All three are very user-friendly systems. You just need to create images to be used for the sides and the boxes, including nice 3D effects, shadows and reflections are rendered instantaneously! Easy isn't it? That's just what we are doing now. here's a bit about these softwares:

Quick 3D Cover. Quick, Simple and Easy.

Quick 3D Cover is probably the simplest 3d-application. Quick 3D Cover makes professional illustrations of software boxshots, books, CD, DVD covers and some other objects. It's the quickest and the simplest tool for this.

• Quick 3D Cover carries manually drawn templates on-board, and embeds your artwork into them.
• Doing this, Quick 3D Cover naturally repeats steps of a professional artist, who draws an illustration by hand with professional graphical software like Adobe Photoshop.
• It has some precise adjustments for shading, lightning and reflections of boxshots, e-books etc.
• The built-in templates are made so that they look well with default parameters. As result, in many cases your don't need to change default parameters and don't need adjustments at all.
• Fine tuning of reflections, highlights and shadows is also possible, and it's quick and easy.
